We were at the SM airport Typhoon restaurant and saw the plane come in from the south over the building and line up to the landing strip but could not manage to touch down and as was nearing the end of the runway veered right upward then left out of view. Prayers to all those injured.

Can’t believe that it ‘s another crash at Santa Monica airport. Just seems to be getting more frequent. Are they increasing the amount of flights coming in and out of there the past few years? Is that why it seems to be getting worse?

Unfortunately this is what happens during the urban sprawl when people choose to build and live in homes so close to an ALREADY existing airport. It’s too bad that people tend to view airports as an enemy instead of an ally. Please visit http://www.gaservesamerica.com to find out how your local airport helps your community.

The people who CHOOSE to live next to the airport should better inform themselves of the inherent risks of living in such a location. It’s like saying there shouldn’t be freeways because there are so many car accidents? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqwQbAxhVxs Don’t let Santa Monica become another Meigs Field…

Most of the houses near SM airport have been there for over 40 years. In fact, many of the apartments on my street were originally built as housing for SM airport workers and personnel. You are blaming the victim here.

this is a horrible report. the plane doesn’t look upside down at all and he says the same twice at the front…”horrible…no one home at the time.” other stations showed the pilot video. this is lame. horrible reporting!
